Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 152

A few nephews from the Qi family's natal family came, and several cousins ​​from the Qi family, all of whom were very simple and honest, and had received a lot of favors from the Du family in recent years.

But they are not the kind of people who get carried away. Every time it is time to harvest, they will give them a bag of the food grown by themselves, such as mung beans and red beans, saying that they will have a taste.

Although this thing is worthless, it is much worse than those who simply came here for the benefit?At least people know how to return.

Chen Du's second son Chen Erye came here this time. This Chen Erye was very funny and didn't mention anything else, just came to pay New Year's greetings to his uncle and aunt.The attitude is very good every time I come here.

Because the current status of the Chen family is definitely not as good as that of the Du family, so if they still put on a high profile, it will not be worth the loss.

Seeing that Du Youxian still had a tofu workshop, he discussed with Du Youxian. Their Chen family also has a restaurant in the town, so they also wanted to order tofu here. People from the Chen family came to pick it up every day, and their Chen family also had a horse-drawn carriage, so it would not be a problem to come and deliver the goods.

For normal business transactions, Du Youxian discussed with his family members and felt that there was nothing unfeasible, so he had contacts with the Chen family in this regard.

As long as it is not simply taking benefits from others, it is feasible, and there is nothing to be taboo about this normal business relationship.

The Du family produces tofu, and the Chen family pays for it. What matters is your love and my willingness.

Chen Erye also knew to form a good relationship.After all, if his mother hadn't gone too far in the early years, she should be the closest to them now. Du Youzhong is also Chen Erye's cousin.

During the Chinese New Year, I just ate, drank and walked away with relatives.Because Du Youzhong was not around, I always felt that it was not as lively as before.

As soon as the first month passed and February entered, the Hu family gave the Chu family a big betrothal gift, indicating that the time to give the betrothal gift was coming soon.

Now Mrs. Hu is not worried at all about not having money for the dowry.The Qi family also said that this is the first of their grandchildren, and it will definitely not be short of money.

The standard set by the family is that Dalang spends 200 taels for this marriage, which is really a big deal in the countryside!It used to be enough to marry a daughter-in-law with a few taels, but now it costs 200 taels, which does not include miscellaneous things. The dowry alone costs 200 taels. In addition, the leather and dry goods can also be sent to the Chu family.As part of the betrothal gift, there are more exquisite five-color grains and so on.

However, no one in the Du family had any objection to this. After all, Da Lang was already a scholar, and he married a girl from the Chu family, so it was right to spend more money.Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Chu family to give the girl a dowry.Because the dowry follows the betrothal gift, if it is much more than the betrothal gift, it is to look down on the other party.

So the betrothal gift sent by the Du family here is still acceptable, and some of the side branches of the Chu family want to see a joke, so they don't gnaw at the betrothal gift sent here. These days, being able to make such a betrothal gift is better than ordinary people.

You must know that some people can't earn 200 taels of silver in their whole life.

After the betrothal gift was over, they were waiting for news from Du Youzhong, or in other words, waiting for his return before they could organize the wedding.

Because Du Dalang is the eldest grandson, although they will live in the county most of the time in the future, the wedding that Qi and Mr. Du discussed will still be held in the countryside, and they can also worship their ancestors, and they can also go directly to the ancestral hall after marriage.

Of course, the dowry of the granddaughter-in-law, except for the ones that are easy to carry, can be placed in the house in the county seat.Qi and the others have no objection to this point.

But you can't move to the countryside without a little dowry, that would be very embarrassing.

The Chu family also agreed to this method. Shaw's meaning is that since there is a need to save face, the dowry for getting married and moving to the countryside should be eye-catching, such as silk and satin, jewelry, etc. On the bright side, you can also move a set of large pieces of furniture. After everyone has seen the furniture, they have nothing to say.

The Du family offered a dowry of 200 taels of silver, and they had to double it, at least 400 taels of dowry. Accompany to the girl's house?
As for what Shaw Brothers gave in private, no one would ask too much.

Mrs. Hu is too busy. She didn't expect that marrying a daughter-in-law would be so cumbersome, and she had to do everything by herself, even with the help of Li Dazhuang's family.

Even Du Yu didn't think so.Register in the register, and then find someone to buy curtains, quilts, etc., and find a tailor to make a suit for each person in the family.

Du Yu attaches great importance to this matter. What Qi Shi said at the beginning was to distribute materials to everyone and let everyone do it by themselves, but Du Yu still persuaded grandma. The tailors in the clothing stores in the county make orders for everyone, so that the styles and styles will not look rustic.

It also means to save face for the family. After all, the aunts can make clothes, but the styles are very old, and others may laugh at them when they see it.

The Qi family gritted their teeth and agreed, and Du Yu brought people to Yangliu Village to measure everyone one by one.

Everyone was very happy to be able to make new clothes, especially the tailor from the county town was invited.So the whole family is very happy.

However, Du Yu discussed with the Qi family to make clothes for the long-term workers, and the materials could not be good. "After all, it's the big brother's happy event. For the long-term workers, it's also the young master's happy event. They are also here to help. Wearing new clothes can also make others think that our family treats these people well."

Mrs. Qi thought about it, and reluctantly agreed. In fact, she also knew that many big families had weddings, and the servants from top to bottom would have new clothes to change into.

I just know that I know, but I still feel sorry for Qian Na.

The long-term workers know that they have a new set of clothes, so they are more motivated, and feel that such a generous employer is really rare.

Think of the landlords in other villages, even if the long-term workers have been working for several years, they will not take off their clothes.

So during spring plowing, these long-term workers worked even harder, and Du Youde and Du Youquan looked at it comfortably.

And the Lan Kwai Fong clothing store in the county town received this business from the Du family and did not take it lightly. Although the Du family only started up later, judging by the momentum, it will really get better and better. Now they don't want to make money. , as a relationship.

Du Youzhong in the capital, when March entered, began three rounds of examinations. He was locked in the Gongyuan, where he ate, drank and lazed. , The conditions of the Gongyuan in the capital city are much better than those in the provincial capital.

After the nine-day exam was over, he came out of the Gong Yuan. Hu Xin and Chang Fu were waiting outside, and the servants of the Chu family were also waiting for the uncle of the Chu family, Chu Qingyuan.

But seeing that Du Juren came out so quickly, and his uncle hadn't been seen yet, I couldn't help but feel anxious, and I was afraid that I might miss him and lose him.

Du Youzhong said: "Don't worry, Brother Chu will come out in a while."

Not long after saying this, Uncle Chu Chu Qingyuan came out with soft legs. Although it is spring, the capital city is much colder than their Yunyang County. He was inside for nine days, it was really cold, and he had to use his brain I thought, once I came out, the suffocated breath had been vented.

After finally being helped into the car by his own servants, he saw that although Du Youzhong was very tired, he was not much stronger than him?
"Brother Du, you are much better than me. I am afraid of taking the exam once."

Du Youzhong said: "I have done a lot of physical work since I was a child, and my body is not bad."

Even if Chu Qingyuan was jealous, he couldn't get over it. Where did he do any work when he was a child, he opened his mouth and stretched out his clothes for food, and even went to school. The energy is all about reading, so this body, as you can imagine, isn't the frail scholar just like him?
As for Du Youzhong, he had to do farm work when he was a child, that is, he worked as a tent in the town, and sometimes he had to resist and carry the fabric, which weighed more than 100 catties. .

After the test, it will take about ten days to announce the list, so Du Youzhong and Uncle Chu have been waiting for the past ten days, and Uncle Chu also asked Du Youzhong about the exam, because he has no background, so he doesn't know if he can make the list Shangming, this time he really put his heart into it, and Hu Xin, after Du Youzhong silenced the questions of this year's scientific examination, he was making a fuss by himself.

The Chu family also has relatives in the capital, and after the trial, they all sent people over to say hello.

Uncle Chu didn't want to go out anymore, because he was nervous and didn't know the result, and he didn't have the mind to go out to visit relatives and friends.

After ten days of hard work, the list will be posted in the Gongyuan in the morning, and Uncle Chu is even more nervous. At this time, people from the Chu family are going to see it, and Changfu also wants to know the situation of his master as soon as possible. , he also knows some characters now, and he remembers his master's name and hometown very clearly.

And Hu Xin took Changfu to look over there.

It turned out to be a sea of ​​people, some people took off their shoes in order to squeeze in the front, some people saw their names, they were so happy that they were going crazy, and they kept shouting, "I've won, I've won! "

There are also those who cry and cry, because they are not in the middle, and their names are lost to Sun Shan.

It took a lot of effort for the servant of the Chu family to rush to the front. Changfu also took advantage of this opportunity to rush to the front of the list, watching carefully with his big eyes.Finally, he saw his master's name in the middle of the list. He was still afraid that it had the same name and surname. He looked at his hometown and found that it was from Yunyang County. Then he shouted, "My master has won! My master has won!"

Changfu finally understood the feelings of those people who were dying or living just now. It is true that if you win, you will be in heaven. If you fail to win, it will feel like going to hell. A test will not only take three years, but also take With a lot of money, those whose families are not rich can't afford to toss about it at all!

Hu Xin couldn't help laughing happily when he heard Chang Fu shouting.

Chang Fu managed to squeeze out of the crowd and ran in front of Hu Xin, wanting to jump up, "I got hit!"

I didn't expect that there was a son-in-law who was under the list. When he saw Hu Xin and Chang Fu, Chang Fu saw that he was a servant. As for Hu Xin, he looked like a master. Now that the man and the master were right, he thought it was Hu Xin. Xin was hit.

The man who caught the son-in-law saw that he was awarded a Jinshi at such a young age, and his future prospects are limitless.Immediately, many people surrounded Chang Fu and Hu Xin.

Changfu's small body suddenly blocked Hu Xin, and asked, "What are you doing?"

That group of people were all chattering, probably meaning, whose family in the capital we belong to, our lady is twenty-eight years old, how much property does the family have, and who is an official in the capital.At present, our young lady has not been betrothed to anyone yet, and is waiting for a sympathetic son-in-law.

It means that our family has taken a fancy to your master, so hurry up and come with us, there will be a lot of glory, wealth and beauty waiting for you in the future!
